3	''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/39435 Cup of Tea]]'' is a ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' oneshot by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/pantswarrior/pseuds/pantswarrior pantswarrior]]. Its premise is that Phoenix and Edgeworth [[RelationshipUpgrade finally get back together]] after the events of ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', Phoenix has trouble [[TheLoinsSleepTonight ...performing.]] Edgeworth at first thinks it was the result of Phoenix drinking too much wine, only to find out that it's a part of a bigger problem.
4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6	* BondageIsBad: Kristoph is into BDSM, knifeplay and waxplay, is an inconsiderate dom and is far from being a good person. %%Averted with Phoenix's relationship with Edgeworth.
7	* ButLiquorIsQuicker: Deconstructed; Edgeworth planned a romantic night with candlelight and wine, only for it to be foiled by Phoenix drinking too much and seemingly becoming too drunk to get physically aroused.
8	* CasualKink: Averted; Phoenix's and Kristoph's interest in hardcore BDSM is treated as pretty unusual, and it's initially met with [[invoked]] [[{{Squick}} disgust]] on Edgeworth's part when Phoenix ends up having to tell him.
9	* ConvenientlyCommonKink:
10	** Played with; Phoenix was extremely intimidated by Kristoph's interest in hardcore BDSM and only got into for his "lover"'s sake. Phoenix comes to enjoy it, but by that time the romantic aspect of their relationship is long gone.
11	** Zigzagged with Phoenix and Edgeworth. Edgeworth is initially disgusted after finding out about Phoenix's interest in BDSM, and Phoenix doesn't expect for him to try as he would rather have an emotionally fulfilling relationship than force him into something he doesn't want.
12	* CoveredWithScars: Phoenix has multiple scars from his knifeplay sessions with Kristoph.
13	%%* DatingCatwoman: Phoenix used to be in a romantic relationship with Kristoph in order to gain the latter's trust. It ended with some major consequences.
14	* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex: Averted, then played straight; despite both being good people, Edgeworth and Phoenix have very unsatisfying sex. It takes a lot of open communication, compromise and a gentle opening of sexual horizons before they can truly make love.
15	* TheLoinsSleepTonight: The central conflict of the story is that Phoenix can't get aroused; at first Edgeworth thought it was the liquor only for it to become a recurring problem in their sexual relationship. Unlike most men in this trope, Phoenix is still a good lover despite it and it bothers Edgeworth that he can't reciprocate.
16	* MoreThanMindControl: Phoenix was initially terrified of BDSM and Kristoph, but since Kristoph was the only person who stood by him he just tolerated it. Eventually the pain and pleasure from it caused Phoenix to crave it even after their relationship soured.
17	* RelationshipUpgrade: Phoenix and Edgeworth have rekindled their relationship before the beginning of the fic.
18	* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Unlike Kristoph, Phoenix does not force Edgeworth into anything. Edgeworth himself decides to do his own research and only does it after establishing clear boundaries and precautions.
19	* SlashFic: The pairing is Phoenix/Edgeworth, with the past paring of Phoenix/Kristoph being a major element.
